I think I'd be even more pissed at the possible home invasion! I mean he could try to get incompetent security guys fired or reprimanded, but what the hell is he going to do about anything that might be missing from his home! Knowing some nameless, faceless, entity sent goons to rummage through my things, I would explode!

I don't think it's policy, or written down anywhere, but I've heard of a few cops who did things they didn't have to simply because they were having a bad day. Never underestimate what an asshole will do to fuck up your day

Not that I'm defending the TSA, but the dude did set of the bomb alarm thing...
In saying that his treatment did cross the line to say the least.

Your rights need to be visible to you somewhere to protect you from dodgy TSA agents or whatever.
Like a sign somewhere that you can read while waiting in line and most certainly when you are held behind closed doors.

It seems I read too many instances of TSA or Police or whoever intimidating and breaching people's rights and because these people don't know their rights, the Police or TSA or whoever get away with it...
ie: The classic case of "we'll only let you go if you sign this waver form"

I'm more pissed about them denying him a glass of water. Like, what the fuck? IT'S WATER. It's not going to kill you to get a crappy little paper cup, take five steps to a water fountain and press a damn button.
